Found a book that summarizes literature and literary figures in text form, and the Byron one might be the best thing to ever happen.
I’ve seen posts joking about how hard it must be to guess what internet culture is next going to find funny. As if to prove the point, here we see tumblr taking a break from Cask of Amontillado references to return to its intermittent habit of dragging Lord Byron.
Good luck, viral advertisers!
dragging lord bryon is the best and most worthy pastime
I believe this book is TEXTS FROM JANE EYRE by Mallory Ortberg, who is an American treasure.
She once did a piece when she was an editor of The Toast called “Dirtbag Beowulf,” which is a constant source of inspiration to me.
